105. Living in university housing or in an apartment in the community?

Students at universities often have a choice of places to live. They may choose to live in university

dormitories, or they may choose to live in apartments in the community. Compare the advantages of

living in university housing with the advantages of living in an apartment in the community. Where would

you prefer to live? Give reasons for your preference.

『分析』

一定要进行比较。

住在宿舍的优缺点：便宜(不用付或者付很少的租金；很少的交通费用)；方便；但是可能不自由

自己租房子住的优缺点：自由；安静；干净；但是费用高 (也许合租的话，就会便宜很多)。

根据自己的情况进行选择

『范文』

Being a new student at a university is an excitement. Choosing where to live, whether on campus in a

dormitory, or off campus in an apartment, is in fact quite a big decision. Both of these options have their relative

benefits.

Living in a dormitory has many advantages over living off campus. For example, one has the opportunity to

meet dozens of new students. One is usually placed in a room with a roommate, who can help with homework, and

give much needed support during difficult times. Another advantage of living in a dormitory is not having to cook

food. Most students coming to a university have lived their whole lives with their parents, and inexpert at

preparing food, for they were not in charge of the cooking in home. Many students who first learn to cook their

own food while going to school eat a very unhealthy diet. On top of this, many students are so preoccupied with

their studies that they do not have time to cook a nutritious meal. Therefore, the fact that the dormitories include a

cafeteria is very beneficial.

However, living off campus has its advantages as well. In most situations, one has much more freedom to do

what they want in these living conditions. For instance, one can stay up late studying or come home late without

disturbing a roommate. Also, one is not limited to the cafeteria food if he/she is a particular eater. Living by oneself

also has its benefits. One never has to deal with rude or messy roommates.

Overall, I think that both of these options are good choices. However, I recommend that first or second year

students live in a dormitory, and perhaps wait until they are older and more accustomed to university life before

venturing out on their own. This way, one gets the best of both worlds: the camaraderie of living with many people

and the independence of living by oneself.
